Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Creative, competitive, driven, and intelligent are just a few words to describe the students at my school. Our students come from various economic statuses and ethnic backgrounds, however, they are all here to learn.

As the school librarian at an academy for gifted and talented students, I see over 450 students every week that need to have their creativity cultivated.

They all come to school ready to learn and be successful.

Our school strives to create an environment conducive to all learning styles and a safe place for everyone. All staff believe in our students and know that they can do anything they set out to do.

My Project

Every Monday, a group of 4th and 5th graders meet in the library during their lunch time for our Lunch Bunch Book Club. The students all read the same book and we discuss. The books we read are our windows to the world. We choose books that allow us to see life in other places.

The students chose AMAL UNBOUND, which is about life in a Pakistani village, for our next book to read and discuss.

This book will spark great conversation amongst the students and allow them to see what life is like in other places. The book will also create appreciation in them for the freedom they have.

After reading the book, we will have several discussions about social justice issues around the world. The students also will be allowed to come up with a way that we, as a club, can make a positive change in our local community.

We need 15 copies of the book AMAL UNBOUND for our Lunch Bunch Book Club. Your generous dontation will allow this years students, and many years to come, read an amazing book with a thought provoking theme.
